Happy Birthday Dad

Today is Jims birthday. Mom is writing this because Christy is in Provo with Grandma Cosgrove. Christy loves her dad so very much. She still likes to draw pictures of him and play remember when. She still cares deeply for all the things that she has left from him. A special duck, a stuffed puppy and her memory books.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!

New school

I started school on Thursday August 13, 2009. I am in third grade. My teacher is Mrs. Calderwood. My classroom is in a trailer. Britten is in my class. Momma and her mom work together at the doctors office. I am using Crystals old backpack. Mom bought me a cute new outfit for the first day. Pink t-shirt dress, black leggins and black ballet flats. Crystal did my hair. Crystal gets me ready for school cause momma works. Crystal takes me and Michael to school and I get to ride the bus back to Alishas house. I am on chapter 7 in the third Harry Potter book. I like school. I miss my grandma cosgrove and my dad. My dads birthday is next Friday I hope I can go to his grave and leave flowers.

Pennies from Heaven

My daddy used to say that when he died and went to Heaven that he would drop pennies down. So when I find pennies I know that they are from my dad. After my dads funeral there were pennies all over grandmas front porch. Grandma let me collect them all and put them in a jar. I have added to it since then. Mom decided that we needed to turn my coins in. I got lots of money, over twenty seven dollars. I went to Walmart and bought a new bedspread. Its like daddy got me the bedspread. Here are pictures.

School and other things!

I have been super busy lately. I am reading Harry Potter number one. I only have one chapter left to read. Mom and I went to Disneyland for her birthday while David was gone. I am doing great in school. Ms. Allan told mom that I have improved in all areas. And I took a teat that put me in the gifted and talented group at school. I guess that means I'm smart :) I love school and all my friends. I have had two sleepovers and I get playdates all the time. And my counseling is going good too.

I can't wait for next week mom took me out of school for the whole week so we can go on vacation and then grandma and popa and Crystal are coming to my house. Shadow gets to come spend time with us too. And I am turning eight really soon.

Bowling

Mom took us bowling on base. It was so much fun. I fell a couple times. I did very well.
A special green ball just for kids.

Look at the pro :)

And of course my hair is not done.

I really enjoy spending time with mom. We get to do so many fun activities.

The princess

I went to girls on the go. And I got to sing and have cookies and lemonade. I got my nails done and my hair done, and mom let me get temporary tattoo.

This is me singing on stage. I was shy to sing on stage. But I did it!

Jennifer did my hair all crazy.

This is the front of my hair, this is me posing crazy!

This is me, grandma and poppa at the lighthouse. I could stick my head thru the gate.

I was at Disneyland with Tinkerbell in Pixie Hollow. She looked pretty.

This is me and my family.

at school I learn about character trades, ms allan always helps us with math. I wrote two poems about ms allan called the beautiful one and blessed too be an angel. The beautiful one ms allan hung in the hall for everyone to see, she is very proud of the poem. After school I go to YMCA afterschool program. It is awesome! I have two teachers their names are ms andrea and ms natalie.

From Mom: Christy is doing very well in school, she is improving leaps and bounds in her writing and math. Her teacher says she is improving in her social skills as well. Christy is also doing so much better at home with Shadow. And now that I am staying at home she will do even better.
